I'm not really up on NFL, but could it be that he only wanted a 1-year deal?I'm not buying it. Is he solid? Yes he is. Is he the best? No way. If he was, he wouldn't have signed a 1 year deal.

If, like others have speculated, he wanted to play for a contender, he might not have wanted to commit to Denver long-term. How much longer is Manning going to play? Once he leaves, the Broncos face a tough transition at QB.I'm not really up on NFL, but could it be that he only wanted a 1-year deal?

He wants to hit free agency again next year, because he wants to better dictate where he plays and what he makes.I'm not buying it. Is he solid? Yes he is. Is he the best? No way. If he was, he wouldn't have signed a 1 year deal.
An extremely risky move no matter how bad you want to win. An injury can ruin the odds of you making any money in the future.He wants to hit free agency again next year, because he wants to better dictate where he plays and what he makes.
I agree. I'm just throwing out a possible motivation for a decision that doesn't seem to make a ton of sense.An extremely risky move no matter how bad you want to win. An injury can ruin the odds of you making any money in the future.
Mathis is already the oldest starting offensive lineman in the NFL, and a rising 34-year old offensive guard is never going to get any real future guarantee. He takes on no additional risk by signing a one-year deal.An extremely risky move no matter how bad you want to win. An injury can ruin the odds of you making any money in the future.
Couldn't he take a fraction of the four million he makes for certain and insure himself against possible future injury?An extremely risky move no matter how bad you want to win. An injury can ruin the odds of you making any money in the future.
At his age, insurance would cost him probably half of his salary and if he doesn't get injured, it's gone.Couldn't he take a fraction of the four million he makes for certain and insure himself against possible future injury?
For some reason, I was thinking that was fairly common practice.
It sure would seem like a lot more fun playing for a contender.
It's possible he has a long standing insurance policy that was priced to him when he was younger, making it reasonable.At his age, insurance would cost him probably half of his salary and if he doesn't get injured, it's gone.
